Bingöl'den Diyarbakır'a Dağdan Sürdük!

In this episode of our 83 Provinces High-Altitude Route series, we're traversing the "smuggler's routes"—little known and generally used by locals—from Bingöl to the Lice mountains of Diyarbakır, all in our Tenere! While climbing these massive mountains, an extension of the Southeastern Taurus Mountains, we witnessed the captivating autumnal colors at an altitude of 2500 meters. We battled water crossings, mud, and challenging terrain along the way, capturing both the region's harsh nature and heartwarming human stories. What's in this video? Challenging Route: Off-road excitement on the Bingöl - Genç - Çaytepe - Sağgöze - Geyikdere route. Local Culture: A conversation about the clever people of Genç district and the mysterious games played for hours in their coffee houses. History and Memory: A journey from the region's challenging past to its peaceful atmosphere today, and the stories of villages whose roads were once closed for months at a time. Special Interview: A candid conversation with a 66-year-old mountain dweller about "If you could go back to being 20, would you live in these mountains again?" Nature and Scenery: We explored the first peak in Bingöl where snow falls and the breathtaking views that rival the Swiss Alps. Get ready for a peaceful and adrenaline-filled journey in the heart of nature, accompanied by the sound of a motorcycle exhaust! 📍 Route Information: We have a Wikiloc recording for those who want to ride this route.
